Re: [Ltru] 2.1: casing

That helps clear up the last sentence. But I still see a problem with “In this format, all subtags… are in lowercase”, which doesn’t appear to be what is really intended.

+1 I think that'd be clearer wording.

I think striking the two instances of "other" deals with the problem:
all subtags are lowercase, except for non-initial two-letter tags, which
are uppercase, and non-initial four-letter tags, which are titlecase.

(Come to think of it, that's probably a clearer wording; I hereby
propose it.)

Note that the "non-initial two-letter subtags need not be region subtags:
we write sgn-BE-FR, for example.
